Chang'an City has completely lifted the curfew, and the city gate can also enter and exit at night, but the inspection is stricter than during the day. Mingde Gate has three door holes, and the small door holes on both sides are usually opened, but few people enter and exit at night, and for safety reasons, so only one small door hole is opened, and people entering and exiting pass by here.

However, when Li Xiu's carriage arrived at Mingde Gate today, he found that the door opening had been blocked, and there was a violent quarrel, so he sent someone to check it out. As a result, the person who asked about the news came to report: "Master Qi, there was a team of people coming to the city gate. It seemed that it was an army, but they were not wearing a suit. Moreover, they were escorting many things, and there were dozens of carriages alone. The soldiers guarding the gate seemed not to let them in, and the two sides started arguing."

The person sent to inquire about the news was the guards around Li Xiu, who were also the old man in the Women's Army back then. His eyes were very poisonous. Even if the other party was not wearing the soldiers' uniforms, he could guess the other party's identity from some details. However, this also made Li Xiu curiously say to himself: "How could a team of soldiers in casual clothes enter Chang'an so late?"

The carriage could not leave the city for a while, and Li Xiu was very curious. Finally, he got off the carriage and squeezed through the crowd in front of him to the city gate. As a result, the soldiers guarding the gate tightly blocked the city gate. In front of them, there were a group of strong men of different heights. Although they were not wearing troupes, the iron-blooded aura on their bodies exposed their identities. Now these people were blushing and shouting loudly with the soldiers guarding the gate to go in. The soldiers guarding the gate naturally did not show weakness. However, no one dared to take action. After all, the military law of the Tang Dynasty was not a vegetarian.

Seeing this situation, Li Xiu couldn't help but frown. After all, no matter what the other party had, it was not necessary to block the city gate. After all, there were so many people around him preparing to enter and exit the city gate, and now they were all blocked here.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu was about to come forward to let the quarrels go aside first, and then ask what was going on? But at this moment, a young man suddenly squeezed out from behind the plainclothes soldiers. Seeing this situation, he immediately frowned and said, "What's going on? Why are you quarreling with the brothers guarding the gate?"

This young man was obviously in the same group as those plainclothes soldiers, and they had a very high status. When the plainclothes soldiers who were originally arrogant looked, they immediately closed their mouths obediently when they saw him. Only one tall soldier stepped forward and replied: "It's not that we want to argue with them, but that these gatekeepers don't let us enter the city. You said that we are fighting hard in Liaodong, but when we come to Chang'an, we can't even get in the city gate. Naturally, the brothers can't stand this anger!"

"Okay, you guys go back, I'll handle this matter!" The young man did not fully trust his subordinates. After all, he knew that the group of people under his command were all soldiers and would ask for trouble when they had nothing to do, let alone that the soldiers guarding the gate would not let them in. It was already good that they didn't fight just now.

When he saw this young man, Li Xiu behind him was stunned, then walked up and smiled, "Pei Jun, have you been to Liaodong? When will you go back to Chang'an?"

This young man is Pei Xingjian, a student of Su Dingfang. Last time Su Dingfang left, he took him to Li Xiu's house to say goodbye. However, what made Li Xiu also strange was that Pei Xingjian should be helping Su Dingfang reorganize his army in Liaodong. How could he run to Chang'an for no reason?

"Son-in-law!" Pei Xingjian was also shocked when he saw Li Xiu, and immediately bowed to salute. The soldiers guarding the gate were also shocked when they heard Li Xiu's identity. In particular, the generals guarding the gate had seen Li Xiu's carriage passing by many times, so they knew him. When they saw him, they hurriedly saluted with Pei Xingjian.

"No need to be polite. Let's get out of here first and let the city gate be smooth. After all, it is not convenient to block so many people in the city gate!" Li Xiu saw that there were acquaintances on both sides, and immediately spoke with a smile.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Pei Xingjian and the generals guarding the city showed embarrassed expressions and immediately ordered people to move aside, which finally slowly dispersed. Li Xiu pulled the two of them aside to ask about the incident and the reason. However, Pei Xingjian was behind just now, so he was not very clear about the situation at the city gate. Fortunately, there was a guardian, so he told the story of the incident.

In fact, the matter was very simple. Pei Xingjian and his group brought a lot of things to the city, but the soldiers guarding the gate were not blind. They could see at a glance that they were fierce and had the murderous aura of war-torn soldiers. They were originally investigated strictly at night, so the soldiers guarding the gate naturally did not dare to let them in easily, but asked to search. After all, they not only had a large population, but also had a lot of things.

However, the people Pei Xingjian brought were all veterans under Su Dingfang, and they all came out of the dead. They were usually rebellious. Even in Chang'an City, it was difficult to restrain their temper. That was why the quarrel just now happened.

"General Song, this is Su Dingfang sent to Liaodong. Pei Xingjian, a subordinate of General Su, joined the army. He had participated in the quelling of the rebellion of the Dangxiang people before, so there was absolutely no problem. I can guarantee this!" After hearing what happened, Li Xiu decided to guarantee Pei Xingjian and the others.

The general who guarded Mingde Gate's surname was Song. He was also a general from the Tiance Mansion before. Although he was not as good as a person, he was actually one of Li Shimin's most trusted confidants. After all, Mingde Gate is the main gate of Chang'an City. The people who can guard here not only have outstanding abilities, but most importantly, they are loyal. The Song generals occupied both of these points.

"So you are subordinates of General Su who are in the King of Geely, and the prince consort is guaranteed to you. Naturally, I have nothing to worry about!" General Song couldn't help but smile at Pei Xingjian when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then sold Li Xiu for a while. Anyway, with Li Xiu's guarantee, even if something happened, he would not blame him, so he was naturally happy to sell this favor.

Hearing General Song's words, Pei Xingjian thanked the other party very tactfully, and then directed his subordinates to the city. He brought a lot of people this time, and it seemed that there were hundreds of people guarding him, and there were twenty or thirty large cars. Li Xiu was still guessing what was installed on the car?
